Ben Affleck is apparently hard at work to transform himself into the "biggest, leanest, baddest Batman" ever, Batman News reports. The actor's trainer, Rehan Jalali, gave fans a little update on Affleck's progress tweeting: "Quick Update: Met w/Batman and Operation Biggest/Leanest/Baddest Batman Eva is on schedule! #DarkKnight."
Affleck worked with Jalali to get in shape for his 2010 role in "The Town," in which he played a bank robber who falls in love with the key witness. Back in January, Jalali posted a picture with Affleck with the caption: "Getting Batman more pumped than ever! Batfleck #Fitness #SixPackDietPlan."
Even though fans begged the celebrity trainer to dish on what kind of fitness and diet regimen he has the actor on, Jalali won't reveal his secrets. However, Affleck has been photographed lately looking toned and buff. Affleck isn't the only "Man of Steel 2" cast member getting in shape for the superhero flick.
Actress Gal Gadot posted a couple photos showing off her muscles after an early morning workout. Gadot was cast in the film as Wonder Woman.
"There's nothing like a good workout in the morning... Love it! You?" she captioned one of the photos as she flexed her muscles.
